Audiographic: Aerial bombardment of IS territory
In retaliation to the 13th November attacks in Paris, France has stepped up its bombing campaign of IS-held territory. Since the middle of last year planes from the US-led coalition have been targeting IS in both Syria and Iraq. But many people have questioned the impact of aerial bombardment.
